Hearth & Holmes is a mystery-solving game set on a backdrop of cozy life simulation.

You play as John Watson, new to his friendship with Sherlock Holmes and desperately trying to cajole his reckless, work-obsessed friend into exercising some level of self-care.

Accompany Holmes through the formative years of his development as a detective:

• Should he focus on his Chemistry experiments or on learning the Criminal History of London?

• Should he hone his skills in Disguise or in Deduction?

• Or should he abandon all other subjects and respond to every challenge he encounters by playing the Violin at it?

Explore life at 221B Baker Street:

• Write and publish 'A Study in Scarlet'.

• Plot with Mrs. Hudson to make sure Holmes eats breakfast.

• Apologize to Irene Norton for pretending to set her house on fire.

• Plan fictional crimes with with Holmes' good friend Professor Moriarty, an innocent college professor. This will end well.

• Confront darker matters: Holmes' substance abuse and your own PTSD from the Anglo-Afghan War.
